Palio dei Rioni

The Palio dei Rioni returns to Dego to light up summer evenings with one of the year's most anticipated and colorful events. Two days of pure fun, from July 17–18, 2026, will transform the main street of the town into a stage where history, tradition, and joy converge. Street parties, live music, and the contagious energy of a community ready to celebrate together create the perfect atmosphere for unforgettable moments with friends and family. The heart of the event beats within seven neighborhoods that will compete in a contest filled with emotion and friendly rivalry. Saturday evening will be the crucial moment: a grand parade will illuminate the town, followed by the final competition that will determine which neighborhood can claim victory in this year's edition. A tradition that reflects Dego's identity and community spirit, where each district carries its own history, passions, and pride.
